Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is seeking a digital learning expert for the "Policy_2020_Digital model for Future Leaders Connect" project, aimed at recreating the impact of the Future Leaders Connect programme through digital avenues. This initiative, which falls under the category of "Systems and technical consultancy services," is located in the United Kingdom. The procurement process is currently at the award stage, with the main contract period running from 22nd December 2020 to 22nd March 2021. The tender had a competitive quotation method for a value of £10,000, with the deadline for submissions initially set for 14th December 2020. Interested bidders were required to register on the British Council's e-tendering portal to participate in the process.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in digital consultancy services, particularly those focussing on developing innovative digital delivery models. Bidders should have a strong capability in consultancy rather than delivery of the projects, and demonstrate diverse technological solutions that do not rely on proprietary software. Businesses that can provide insights into creating impactful virtual learning environments would be particularly suited to this tender, thereby helping to enhance their growth and establish a foothold in the public sector consultancy market.

Notice Title

Policy_2020_Digital model for Future Leaders Connect

Notice Description

We seek a digital learning expert to advise on how we can recreate the impact of Future Leaders Connect through digital and virtual delivery. We seek consultancy to redevelop the model and require that any suggestions made are not focused on the use of one particular proprietary software. We are also not seeking someone to deliver this project. Future Leaders Connect is the British Council's programme which aims to create a long-term global network of emerging policy leaders. Through the programme, exceptional next generation leaders gain access to the relevant skills, international networks and opportunities which will support them to make a difference through policy change. Additional information: Bidders should register on the British Council's e-Tendering portal In-Tend(https://in-tendhost.co.uk/britishcouncil/aspx/Home) in order to take part in the tender process. Once registered, bidders must log-in to the website where they can view the project and access the bidders pack and submit their return. Bidders will also be required to demonstrate their capability and 'means of proof' will be required. These conditions are outlined in the RFP.
